right. practically synonyms with regard to word meaning. the only difference being the feel of the words themselves. connotation= matter of fact (latinate)
nuance=touchy-feely (french origin)

Ooh good question!
For me connotation and denotation are a pair. Denotation refers to the dictionary or official or non contextual meaning. Conversely, connotation refers to contextual or feeling or typical usage meaning. Also because these two words are both longer and of Latin origin they have a fancy or educated feel to them. These words only apply to meaning. And the words positive and negative are often paired with connotation.
Nuance refers to what makes something slightly different or special. It had a vagueness to it. And it doesn't strictly apply to meaning. But when using nuance about meaning it means roughly the same thing as connotation. The nuance is that it feels like a special word because it isn't a long latinate word.
Smell, aroma, and odor ostensibly have the same denotation. "That which can be sensed by the nose." However, aroma has a positive connotation (nuance) while odor has a negative connotation and smell can be used neutrally though for me it still has a slightly negative nuance.
Non-meaning-related examples:
That painting represents the child with great nuance.
That composer has a nuanced way of expressing emotion through her music.

@monsieursensei I see!
i guess in actual usage, they are practically synonyms because (i guess) we dont particularly take nuance apart from its meaning when we talk about the meaning of a word. is that right?
